Productivity is still happening.

Not bad for a first try I thought...I still have a few issues about tension but we'll get there one day.

I have knitted a little stripy hat in blue and white if it is a little boy but it has been packed in the bag already and is in the car.

Some of you have seen it at my instagram page. (erinbillybuttondesign)

It was knitted out of Drops wool which I like, but my local shop has decided to change wool brand to Sirdar. I liked Drops as it was easy to knit with for a new knitter, I am not having as much success in the neat look department with the Sirdar.

I made a second set of bunting...if it is a girl out of my Little Apples stash and seeing that I haven't had time to do a quilt for this little one yet, I just spruced up its cot blankets with a bit of binding.

And I have started a back to front swoon block. (with my rainbow charm pack and the scrap box)

At the beginning I was making only two scrappy swoon blocks to make as pillows while I was waiting for the others to catch up to where I am (nine blocks made) but it has taken me about four weeks to finish one block and now I have an idea/dream to make another three and make a smaller quilt. (another UFO) I am thinking of changing the kona grey shades in the next two blocks.

(this was ash and medium grey)

I forgot how big the blocks are. They may be too big as a cushion.

You do need a clear head when you are making a swoon block and even clearer when making a scrappy swoon block...something I may do not have at the moment. I hope to have another made in the next day or two.

Hahaha I love the comment of the week and you're offhand response! I wouldn't have said that, you must be mistaken. Loooove the Swoon block with reversed neutral and colour. Great idea. Yes, they do take a lot of concentration don't they. How much longer to go?

About Me

"Not with the good sissors!" and
"Don't you touch that tension!" would be my first memories of my sewing days with my mother. I have always enjoyed sewing since she took the time to teach us all to sew on her green Singer sewing machine. She was always sewing or mending something, and I loved to rummage through her chest of fabric.
Modern quilting is what catches my eye the most but I do like making sweet little things for special people in my life.
